"Shi Qin?"
Yan Dong's murky old eyes were filled with disbelief. He stared at the black-robed young man who had just entered the room and trembled in shock.
"In just half a month, this kid has improved again?"
In his shock, Yan Dong revealed a look of disbelief. His gaze wandered around Qin Shi's black robe. Although he was still at the Early Stage of the Cryptic Spirit Realm, the aura that Qin Shi was emitting was very different from half a month ago. This was why he could not recognize him earlier. He could not help but look sideways at the formless aura.
Boom!
As the two of them stared at each other, a loud noise suddenly reverberated in the clear sky. Before the golden dragon that was circling in the sky could completely disperse, a figure of light whizzed past with a piercingly cold palm, shattering the golden dragon with a single palm strike, and landed steadily in the front yard of the Shangguan family.
The person who had arrived had white hair. Wasn't that Shangguan Ba?
"Yan Dong, who attacked?"
Hearing this, Yan Dong raised his hand and pointed at the door with a bitter smile.
Shangguan Ba turned around and saw Qin Shi. He could not help but widen his eyes. Then, a hint of emotion appeared in his heart, "My friend, Shi Shi Qin?"
"Hehe, Shangguan clan leader, your Shangguan clan's way of treating guests is quite special." Qin Shi's lips curled up and his voice was filled with ridicule.
Shangguan Ba blushed and glared at Yan Dong fiercely. Then, he immediately greeted Qin Shi with flattery, "My friend, what are you talking about? Now that the Shangguan clan has been defeated, the surrounding clans are all thinking of devouring the Shangguan clan. Recently, we have been attacked by other forces several times and the clan is in constant panic. That's why we mistook you for an enemy attack. I hope you won't blame us."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was quite surprised. Then, he gently nodded his head in relief. As the saying goes, when a tree falls, monkeys scatter. When a wall is down, everyone kicks it. He had seen this kind of situation many times in the northern region, so he did not say much.
"Since you're back, quickly enter the inner palace. I haven't been able to properly thank you for what happened previously. I'll arrange for my men to prepare a banquet." Shangguan Ba immediately changed the topic while Qin Shi was silent.
Qin Shi nodded and said, "Forget about the banquet. My friends and I may have to disturb the Shangguan Family for a few days. I wonder if the Shangguan Family Patriarch can prepare a guest room for us?"
"Of course." Shangguan Ba was overjoyed and quickly agreed.
As Shangguan Ba, Qin Shi, Feng Hen, and the others entered the courtyard, Feng Hen and the others glanced at the flowers along the way. Apart from Xiao Tianyue, all of them, including Xu Qiaoer, were ordinary people. It was their first time seeing such a magnificent courtyard and jade palaces, and they could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"Big Brother, you're amazing. You even managed to climb up to a high branch like the Shangguan Clan." Xiao Tianyue followed closely behind Qin Shi. She couldn't help but feel envious.
Qin Shi glanced at him snappily. "Can't you be a little more promising?
Was he satisfied with this little height?
Then how are you going to explore the world with me in the future?
The height I want to reach is far more than this. "
After saying this, he couldn't help but raise his head. What he said was right. There was still a long way to go. Not to mention other places, just the Mystical Palace that they were about to face was far from what the Shangguan Family could compare with. Moreover, there were those mysterious blood-robed men, and even the Ancient Twin Devils, Zhe Tian and Devouring Heaven. Compared to these, the entire Chi Yan Empire was just the tip of an iceberg.
"Wow, the best. So beautiful. That one is not bad either. As expected of a big family, the maids are almost comparable to the courtesans in the brothels."
Abruptly turning his head, Qin Shi turned around to look at Xiao Tianyue. How could the latter be listening to him? Her lecherous eyes were staring straight at the maids who were drawing water from the ancient well.
So this was where the high branch came from?
In his anger, just as Qin Shi was about to berate her, Xiao Tianyue shifted her footsteps and left the group. She walked toward the ancient well. She placed one hand on the wooden pillar and struck a cool pose. With a wave of her hand, a bracelet appeared in the air. "Beauty, with your temperament, only you are worthy of this jade bracelet. Why don't you give me some face and make friends with me?"
Qin Shi clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. He took a deep breath and patted Feng Hen. "Feng Hen, I'll give you a difficult task. Go and drag that beast who only cares about the opposite sex back for me!"
After receiving the order, Feng Hen used the simplest and most violent method to subdue Xiao Tianyue.
"No matter what I say later, I must not let this scourge see Xiao Mi Cai and Yu Luocha. Otherwise, something bad might happen." Qin Shi took a few steps forward and caught up with Shangguan Ba. He secretly decided in his heart.
Shangguan Ba brought the few of them to the main hall and immediately called for a servant. "Quickly prepare five guest rooms for little friend Shi Qin. Remember, they must be the best guest rooms."
In the process of arranging the guest rooms, Shangguan Ba brewed a pot of strong tea on the exquisite wooden table and passed it to the few of them.
After receiving the fragrant tea, Qin Shi blew on it gently and took a sip. He put down the teacup and looked around the inner hall. He said softly, "Shangguan Family Head?
Where are my little daughter and my friend? "
"Daddy!"
Before Shangguan Ba could reply, a coquettish voice came from outside the main hall. Xiao Mi Cai, who was wearing a fluttering colorful dress, stepped on a colorful cloud and leaped into the main hall. She immediately pounced into Qin Shi's embrace.
The warmth and laughter that were transmitted from his embrace caused Qin Shi to smile. He raised his hand and brushed past Xiaomi's smooth long hair. Immediately, he felt a fiery piercing pain being transmitted from his face. Numerous horrified gazes were staring at him.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Daddy?
Brother Shi Tou, you're a father now? "
Feng Hen and the rest revealed a shocked expression because of Xiao Mi Cai's appearance. Xu Qiaoer's beautiful eyes flashed. "Brother, I have a sister-in-law?
Why didn't you tell me? "
"Sister Qiao 'er?"
Wei Miao's ears twitched. Xiao Mi Cai was like a rainbow as she raised her head in excitement. She was like the sun in summer as she dived into Xu Qiaoer's embrace. "Sister Qiao 'er, is it really you?
I missed you so much! "
Lowering her head to look at the smooth and slick Xiao Mi Cai, Xu Qiaoer's expression was filled with confusion.
Xiao Xuan took a step forward and coughed a few times. "Hey hey hey, little girl, do you know the rules?
Is Qiao 'er's embrace a place where you should be?
That's what I deserve. "
"Furthermore, what kind of seniority are you?
You should call me Aunt Qiao 'er, not Sister. Call me Uncle, do you understand? "
The irritated voice caused Xiao Mi Cai to frown. She raised her head and glanced at Xiao Xuan. "Fool!"
"Sigh, this lass, how can she be so impolite."
Xiao Xuan rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward aggressively. Unexpectedly, before he could stabilize his steps, an auspicious rainbow cloud appeared on the green tiled floor.
The rainbow light was like a turbulent sea wave as it formed a surging whirlpool. A single wave sent Xiao Xuan flying tens of meters away.
"So powerful!"
The same thought flashed across everyone's mind. In that instant, even Feng Hen wasn't able to detect Xiao Mi Cai's actions.
Xu Qiaoer opened her cherry lips stiffly and asked Xiao Mi Cai, "Do, do we know each other?"
"Of course, I am Little Xiao Mi Cai. Does Sister Qiao 'er not know me?" Xiao Mi Cai stood on her toes and gave a natural and harmless smile.
"Xiao Mi Cai?"
Xu Qiaoer muttered as if she was in deep thought. Shortly after, a slender seven-colored snake flashed in her mind as she looked at Xu Qiaoer in disbelief, "You said that you are Xu Qiaoer?"
"That's right, I am Xiao Mi Cai."
As she spoke, Xiao Mi Cai clasped her hands together and raised them above her head before twisting her waist. She was as soft as a snake. No, she was a snake.
Standing by the side, Qin Shi tightened his black robe and smiled as he went forward to explain to Xu Qiaoer and the rest before introducing himself to them.
"It's really you?"
After listening to the entire process, Xu Qiaoer's cold face revealed a rare smile. She hugged Xiao Mi Cai and sized her up. She still felt that it was unbelievable.
"Sister Qiao 'er, you don't know how much I missed you."
Xiao Mi Cai shamelessly snuggled into Xu Qiaoer's embrace and this infuriated Xiao Xuan and Xiao Tianyue.
Xiao Xuan was infuriated because of Xu Qiaoer. Qin Shi didn't understand Xiao Tianyue at the start but after a few sentences, Qin Shi felt like killing him, "Heavens, how can such a beautiful girl be Big Brother's daughter?
This is illogical. Heavens, how can such a beautiful girl be sent into Xu Qiaoer's embrace? This is illogical! "
Qin Shi clenched his teeth but due to his identity, he decided to let Feng Hen take his place. After that, it was Xiao Tianyue's wailing and howling.
The group chatted for a while and Xiao Xuan raised a serious question, "Can we straighten out this seniority?
Father, Sister, Dummy … It's too messy. "
"Xiao Mi Cai hasn't turned into a human for long and has just entered the mortal world. She doesn't know much about the ways of the world. Just let her call me." Looking at Xiao Mi Cai gently, Qin Shi brushed her waist-length hair.
Xu Qiaoer and the rest didn't mind.
Xiao Xuan smacked his lips helplessly and muttered, "Yes, let her call me whatever she wants. Anyway, if she keeps calling you, you will be the one taking advantage!"
"Why? Are you not satisfied, dummy?"
Xiao Mi Cai raised her colorful and auspicious fist, scaring Xiao Xuan into shaking his head. She then snorted in satisfaction and said to Xu Qiaoer in disdain, "I say, sister, why did you find such a fool!"
Xu Qiaoer doted on Xiao Mi Cai and because of this, Xiao Xuan was at a disadvantage in front of Xiao Mi Cai. Xiao Tianyue went up and patted him, "Hey, Xiao Xuan, do you know what this is called?"
"Hmm?"
"Stewed tofu in brine, everything has its conqueror."
The few of them burst into laughter. Qin Shi, who was wrapped in his black robe, drank the tea in his hand and asked, "Xiao Mi Cai, where is Yu Luocha?"
"Aiya, I forgot that Sister Luocha is still in the valley at the backyard. Ever since Father left, she has been waiting there for you every day. I will go and call her now," Xiao Mi Cai slapped her forehead in self-reproach and took her dress from Xu Qiaoer's embrace and was about to leave.
Qin Shi felt warmth in his heart and raised his sleeve to stop her, "I will go by myself."
Finishing his words, he stood up and left.
In the valley at the backyard of the Shangguan Residence, there was a stretch of lush green grass. When a breeze blew, the grass would dance elegantly.
At the end of the grass, a green-clothed lady with waterfall-like long hair was sitting on the top of the cliff. Her legs were swaying in the wind and her hands were like a blooming lotus flower, supporting her chin. Her slightly cold face was facing the warm sun as she looked into the distance.
Wrapped in his black robe, Qin Shi landed lightly behind the lady and looked at her anxious eyes. His heart felt like it was sliced open by honey as he squatted down and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
"Shi Tou?"
